Tiivistelmä
This thesis explored the persistent issue of gender inequality within the music industry, specifically investigating the challenges faced by women in roles such as audio engineers, producers, and positions that include leading. By examining the experiences and perspectives of professionals in both studio and live sound environments, the study aimed to provide insights of barriers that hinder women’s entry and advancement in these career paths.

The research methodology consisted of a combination of a self-conducted survey exploring gender dynamics and opportunities within the music industry, as well as surveys conducted by other instances on related topics. By examining existing research data this study captured a comprehensive view of the varied experiences of gender inequality. This study included analyses of historical context, the influence of working environments, obstacles to career progression, and instances of harassment. To uphold sensitivity to the subject matter, the responses gathered from the self-conducted survey were excluded.

Key findings revealed prevalent assumptions regarding strength, appearance and knowledge, alongside the presence of challenging working environments and barriers in leadership roles. The male-dominated nature of the industry, fortified by established networks, presents challenges for women seeking entry to the industry. Deep-rooted traditions, attitudes, and prejudices served as deterrents to women pursuing careers in this field. The absence of role models significantly impacts career choices. Instances of discrimination, sexual harassment and abuse were also identified within the industry.

In conclusion this study not only highlighted the challenges faced by women in various audio-related roles but also proposed considerations for fostering a more inclusive and equitable industry. Acknowledging the issues is essential, motivating us to delve deeper and find more ways to make positive changes in the industry
